LCM Artist Of The Week - Albert Man Praised by BBC Radio Head of Music as a “brilliant singer-songwriter,” Albert Man is an “insightful artist to watch” accordi... ng to Pledge Music’s managing editor Matt Conner. He has established himself as one of the more interesting songwriters on the London gig circuit with avid support from RockShot Magazine, who compared his songs to that of “Ben Folds in verse, wit and chord changes”. The award-winning, Manchester-born singer-songwriter plays both solo and with a full band, writing piano-led, melodic pop songs described by Fresh On The Net as “sweet piano led shenanigans that come over like the lovechild of Billy Joel and Adam Levine”. Recorded at his recent sold-out EP launch on the 8th February, Albert is releasing his very first live album, the 11-track 'Live At St. Pancras Old Church' on May 19th. The album was recorded by our very own Alex Carson (Wooden Arms) and features Albert Man (piano & lead vocals), Jim McGrother (guitar & backing vocals), Ally McDougal (drums & backing vocals), Matt Findlay ( bass) and Louize Carroll (backing vocals).

The album is available now for pre-order on iTunes and is scheduled for a 19th of May 2017 release both digitally and on CD. Set to include songs from last years award-winning studio album “Cheap Suit” and the more recent “Nothing Of Nothing Much” the album will also feature the previously unreleased track “Groundhog Day” which is being offered as an instant gratification download with any iTunes pre-order. The energy and power of this live show captures a raw, dynamic sound and showcases a collection of Albert’s best songs to date enhanced by the amazing natural acoustics of the church.Church of England Christians will be used to spending uncomfortable hours listening to sermons on traditional Victorian pews. But that experience may soon be a thing of the past as a Church of England court ruled that plans to replace them with comfortable seating would encourage more people to attend. Allowing one vicar to replace pews with modern upholstered chairs, Chancellor for the Diocese of Rochester John Gallagher said there was "no theological basis" for the retention of pews and overruled the objections of conservationists.

Management at St Margaret's Church in Rainham applied to install the stainless steel chairs which will be upholstered with blue fabric, a plan which they say is popular among their congregation. Vicar the Revd Judy Henning, alongside wardens Janet Garnons-Williams and Desiree Willis, said parishioners strongly favoured them over heavier wooden chairs as they would be 70 per cent cheaper, easier to move and stack and provide "relief from the timber interior".wine barrel chairs for sale The plans, which are part of a £63,833 overhaul of the church, were opposed by the Victorian Society, which said the chairs would not be in keeping with the character of the building.table and chair rental victoria The building is Grade One listed and parts of it date back to the 14th century.supreme plastic chairs buy online

In a letter to the court Sophia Laird, of the Society, said it wished to "register strong objection to the proposed chairs which will cause gratuitous harm to this listed building. "They make no attempt to blend in with the existing joinery or character of the building. "The incongruous and inappropriate design and colour of these chairs will cause harm to the character of the church." The church argued that many churches and cathedrals had introduced similar chairs, and said the blue colouring would "add some colour and brightness" to the area and match carpets and kneelers.office chairs sydney eastern suburbs Mr Gallagher ruled that the "need and desirability" of comfortable chairs outweighed any argument against having them.plastic chair mat canada He also criticised the Society for failing to visit the church or contact its management before lodging its objection.office chair parts san antonio

"Had the Victorian Society been able to visit the church and see for themselves, first hand, the layout and what had been done elsewhere in the church, and been able to engage with the petitioners on what was proposed and needed, much time and expense might have been avoided," he said. He added that this failure to contact the church's management meant the charity had been unaware that the chairs would be removed and stacked when not in use, reducing their impact on how the interior looked.best place to buy beach chairs in myrtle beach Mrs Garnons-Williams said the plans, which will remove pews in three areas of the church, would also allow it to hold social events such as coffee mornings and concerts more easily.cheap office chair brisbane "When our church was built it was the centre of the community and we're really keen that it should be that again," she said.best office chair for ergonomics

A spokesman for the society said they were "disappointed" with the decision and added "We only have the resources to visit a fraction of the churches we're involved with, and this wasn't a particularly important case for us." Priests have to apply to the local church court for permission to make changes which affect the look of a church. The Victorian Society frequently challenges church plans to remove or change interiors. It is campaigning against Bath Abbey's decision to remove some of its Victorian pews to make way for underfloor heating.The requested URL /?page_id=42 was not found on this server.Inventory / Church Furniture ALL PICTURED ITEMS ARE OWNED BY FLUMINALIS , DO BELONG TO FLUMINALIS AND ARE IN POSSESSION OF FLUMINALIS CHURCH INTERIORS B.V.
